According to reports, Real Madrid is looking to finalize a deal for Man City striker Erling Haaland after securing a deal for Kylian Mbappe. Haaland has been in sensational form since joining Man City, scoring 52 goals in 53 matches last season and setting a record for Premier League goals in a season with 36. He has continued his impressive form this season, with 22 goals in 28 matches, including the winning goal in a recent match against Brentford.
There have been long-standing reports indicating that Real Madrid has a strong interest in Haaland given his prolific scoring record. With Mbappe’s impending departure from PSG, it is reported that Real Madrid is closing in on signing the French forward.
A Spanish publication, Nacional, claims that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has set his sights on acquiring Haaland after securing Mbappe’s signature. The report suggests that Perez is not content with just signing the best player in the world and is already planning to pursue Haaland in the summer of 2025.
There have also been rumors of tension between Haaland and Man City boss Pep Guardiola, particularly after comments made at the Ballon d’Or awards. However, it is important to note that despite reports of Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid being finalized, there is no official contract signed yet.
In a recent column, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano clarified that while the Mbappe saga is coming to an end, a formal contract with Real Madrid has not been signed. He further explained that Mbappe has informed PSG of his decision to leave and is in talks only with Real Madrid, despite reports of interest from other clubs.
Romano emphasized that the deal is in its final stages, but details still need to be clarified before the contract is signed. The formal announcement of Mbappe’s departure from PSG and his contract with Real Madrid is expected to occur once the final details are settled. While there is speculation about when the deal will be officially announced, as of now, it is still in its advanced stages.
